Any response to that question would be based on people’s opinions and choices. The bible doesn’t explicitly prescribe marriage in those terms. Then again, the bible is composed of letters and manuscripts of songs were the authors expressed their feelings and opinion. Even the text are transcribed from other languages and meanings may have been lost in translation.

Nevertheless, some words attributed to Jesus Christ on situations closely similar can be found in Matthew 5:33 were Jesus was quoted to have spoken against oath taken in general.

Are you scared?the word best in marriage means alot of things.if your marriage is blessed with children,you have a job,wife also working,good health,relative peace and none nags.the worst means in sickness,barreness,joblessness,all round troubles,nagging,lack of trust and early death.But,i will advise you to remove your mind from the negative(worst)side of marriage.if you can't,always pray together with your wife and back it up with psalm 23.

You see, it's the same virus that made us change the lyrics of that popular song "When trouble comes my way, i will praise the Lord". Now, everyone sings "when success comes my way, I will praise the Lord. But in plain terms, the bible never told us it would be a bed of roses. John 16:33b puts it right.. "in the world, ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world".

It's just the idealist's fantasies and this virus is eating us so deep!

Exactly why you made that statement, still young in marriage... There is no marriage without ups and downs unless of course either party is a pretender, if not both.. I'm not saying dere is no better marriage but there is no better marriage without few downs..

My dear sister, be prepared, a lot of things are going to happen in that marriage, that you will so wish you never even venture into it, but how you respond to those trying times is what will define your marriage.. BETTER or WORSE..

Have a great and happy marriage life sis !!!

Everything has its own time. a time to laugh and a time to be sad, a time to gather and a time to scatter. it is just normal that there wud be a worse time, so nothing wrong using it.

For better for worse depends on what the individual terms as worse. We all have our deal breaker and limits. Some people can tolerate a cheating man, some tolerate an abusive man(na people dey like BDSM sef) .

But let's remember that after worse there is worst. When it gets to the point that your limit has been exceeded and you are at the worst phase, you are justified to pull out. After all its "for better for worse ",not "for better for worst "

Mbanu, I remember telling someone that respect is even more important than Love and trust in a relationship, marriage.

If your woman doesn't have respect for you, thr love is certainly going to diminish, and you won't even want to trust the person anymore or the trust you have for her will also diminish.

Thanks.

Confession is very important.
We should not give power and energy to "for worse "

My friend used for better Nd better at Christ embassy....

I will stand with you in health and omitted sickness.....

They had lost two of thier kids.

I am not at all mocking him....no way.

I just think many Christians today in Nigeria have an unrealistic approach to life.

How come Pastor's wives die young or of illness....?


Pentecostals especially should stop living in fools paradise

wow!
society really has everything twisted.

....profit AND loss
....for better for worse

ti succeed at anything, one basically first accepts both sides of the 'Life Coin'

an intending recruit digns first his own death warrant, its a precondition. become the walking dead makes life and death situation better to handle

couples whi understand that good and bad times WILL come grow as a very strong family

It's the white man's traditional wedding. It means that you will stick to your spouse no matter the odds of life. You can as well say it is not necessary to put on white for the wedding too. It's mainly in Nigeria that things are copied and not copied well. If you don't want to do it that way then go and do the African traditional wedding only and forget white wedding. angry

Making vows is the direct opposite of what the Bible teaches. Do not swear...or make vows... because no man is certain he can keep them. The vows widely used in marriage....in churches.... by MOG.... for better for worse etc...are all Pagan. Why even teach it?

It is not for better, for worse... The correct version is for better or for worse, in health or in sickness. The two conditions are mutually exclusive

for better for worse is used to express dat come what may we are together, no divorce, exactly what christianity promotes. Don't tell me some ppl do not keep it for dat's there kuli kuli. For better for better, what does it express?

RCCG sunday school now is currently teaching about marriage and divorce. as we were meditating on it today, a man asked a question saying "is for better for worse a correct thing to be used during marital vows or for better for better" he further backed his question with a scripture.


Now my own view is that are they expecting worse condition in the bible or is the normal procedure everybody goes through?
is no longer for beta for worst. New era, for beta for stay for worst for gone.

So if things get bad you'll divorce your husband?

There's no marriage that won't pass through tough and trying times. That is the truth
Anybody who states otherwise is lying.
